Funky Valentine posted:The first episode of MVA should be the usual recap filler that reintroduces everyone but this time instead of reminding us that Sugar Man exists for the hundreth time, it goes over the Legion of Doom's Quirks and Villain Names. I’m pretty sure MVA will still be part of Season 5 but this sounds fun regardless. Also MVA should have one or more of the League of Villains doing the usual opening speech and preview narration along with a brand new OP and ED solely devoted to them (maybe even a new title card as well if they want)

It has a section they can do that in when the League slaughters the japanese KKK. Larryb posted:I’m pretty sure MVA will still be part of Season 5 but this sounds fun regardless. I love this idea. Instead of Deku narrating the intro it's Shigaraki and he starts slurring it more and more as he gets more exhausted.

I kinda hope they don't softshoe the violence in MVA because the intense ratcheting up in violence/death is part of what makes the arc work since it's kind of a shock.

I hope that Deku's solution to what is being portrayed as a pretty thoroughly rotten system buoyed by the sacrifice/hard work of genuinely good heroes isn't just "well...I'll uh, help everyone!!"

Lady Nagant rules. I'm hoping both that she ends up joining Deku and that the manga finds time to have an arc about smashing the Public Committee and irreversibly changing the current Hero system, before it ends.

Quirks have to at least be pulled back to something weaker, if not removed entirely; they haven't mentioned the quirk singularity in a while, but so long as another Shigeraki can happen then any attempts to right society are doomed, and quirks are only going to get more powerful.

Something that made it so there never needed to be any other heroes ever again, like what Hawks wanted. Overhaul's knowledge about the ability to dequirk people was entirely based on carving hunks of flesh out of Eri and healing her after the fact, which strikes me as less than heroic, especially since we're being punched in the face over and over with "maybe the ends don't actually justify the means".

Deku's becomes the world's greatest hero by becoming the world's greatest villain and uniting the rest of hero society against him. And killing him takes away everyone's quirks or something idk

In the end the entire world becomes quirkless thanks to Deku and is turned into the modern society we live in today (also all animal themed people are turned into normal humans as a result and Hagakure finally becomes visible).

It's interesting to me that it seems like a large portion of Lady Nagant's work as an assassin was killing other heroes who had stepped out of line and were doing shady/immoral poo poo. There was occasional other stuff like terrorist groups but the primary focus seems to have been keeping the heroes in line. Is this something the Commission still does or have they stopped doing it (perhaps afraid to start it up again)? When Hawks was ordered by the League to kill a hero to prove himself, he went well out of his way to fake Best Jeanist's death so I assume if he had a history of killing shady heroes, he could have just picked one of them and brought them to Dabi in pieces. Plus it seems like if they are still doing that sort of thing, they should have handled Endeavor before now. Yeah, he's got a great solved-cases record and is ranked really highly, but the child abuse stuff was going to come to light sooner or later and at that point his rank just makes it a more devastating blow. Not that the Commission isn't a bunch of slimy shits either way. Definitely glad Redestro wiped the floor with them.

I mean, everything else aside, Endeavor's a pretty clear "come at the king, you best not miss" issue. He's one of the most dangerous people in the world, and if he decides that the hero commission is trying to kill him, only All Might could reliably stop him. (And All Might getting pissed at the commission too would be... apocalyptic.) Losing a valuable asset over a scandal that's (relatively) easily covered up is a bad enough deal to begin with. Having Endeavor kill your assassin and then come after you? Not a winning scenario.

There's one government Hero Assassin who's Quirk just lets him wear any disguise and people will accept him as that disguise. Also it lets him throw fire hydrants with pinpoint accuracy.

And I'm going to guess Nagant was in jail by the time Endeavor's abuse started. The commission likely doesn't want a high-profile hero like Endeavour murdered in public. Sniping him through a window when he's at home could probably be covered up, but it's still risky. Like was brought up earlier, the scandal could probably be brushed over if it came to light. The commission didn't know Dabi was alive or would reveal Endeavour's abuse in such a dramatic manner (and have a number of murders indirectly linked to said abuse). Having Endeavour killed would always be a high-risk play, and the commission seems like it would be pretty risk-averse institution.

Also frankly half the commission probably has poo poo like that or worse in their closets, and the nature of these sort of institutions is to protect their own and brush under smaller/ "less consequental" abuses like that and only protect the institution and its power

I feel like that is very contrary to what happened with Ending, when he said in no uncertain terms "Heroes don't kill in even the worst circumstances, like you threatening to kill me son to name a random example." Enji Todoroki is a shitbag human being, but Endeavor is a near perfect hero.

I strongly doubt the "front-facing" heroes are aware of the grimier shadow ops like state-sanctioned murder, because it's likely that most of them would be principled enough to spill the beans while simultaneously being too public and famous to quietly silence, especially if multiple of them decided to come forward.
